Synopsis
" My father was a man haunted by a nightmare and obsessed by a dream.
The nightmare was the memory from his
days with the United Nations- of starving men, women and children in the poor
countries of the
world. And his dream was to see those deprived people fed....
Last year he started on a project that was such a closely guarded secret that
not even I knew what he was doing. He subjected seeds to radiation and succeeded
in producing a plant mutation....
If there are plants in hell, they'll probably be like the plants my poor father
created. "
